Hidden Path Entertainment
announces they are developing Defense Grid 2, a full sequel to their
tower defense game. The game was the subject of
a
Kickstarter in July of last year
which reached the funding goal to trigger development of Containment, an
eight-level expansion for the original game, but failed to reach the target to
fund a sequel. Now word is this all inspired an investor to come in and make it
rain: "The support and enthusiasm of the DG community got the attention of an
investor who made up the funding gap. Now we’ve got enough money to make DG2."
They say the game is being developed for Windows, OS X, and Linux for release
through Steam next year. Here's what they are revealing for now of their plans
for the game: "So much stuff. A new campaign, multiple planets, freakin’
MULTIPLAYER modes, user-created content support, new aliens, new towers and new
characters, and the ability to create—wait for it—custom levels."

But I just mocked the post that a "majority" of the community wanted MP. No, the majority of the DG community (meaning those that bought it) never even visited the forums or played a single MP game.

The first game didn't even have multiplayer so of course people couldn't play it. I think his point still stands that it was the most popular feature request and the developers are implementing it so tough luck, I guess you'll just have to settle for a great SP campaign and having to ignore the multiplayer button in the main menu
